Is it my imagination or is 'Grandpa' based heavily on a certain Apollo Flight Director?

Those of you who watch the trailer, you try telling me that even though this is a very American, very cheesy animated kids film, that it doesn't stir just a little something inside you. It did for me...

On edit: Right, that's it!! I'm taking my wife and niece to see this today.

Which is a tad ironic, given it is a Spanish-produced film. From Variety:

Spain's biggest animation play of 2015 – and one of its two-or-three biggest films of the year – Enrique Gato's "Capture the Flag" will be released by Paramount Pictures on Aug. 28...
"Capture the Flag" is Spain's big toon hope of 2015. That now means something. Telecinco Cinema, [director Enrique] Gato, screnwriter and producer Jordi] Gasull, [producer Edmond] Roch, Lightbox and Telefonica previously teamed on "Tad, the Lost Explorer," listed by a keystone European Audiovisual Observatory report ... as Europe's third highest-grossing independently-financed animation film over 2010-14, after "Paddington" and "Sammy's Adventures."

Jordi Gasull, who is credited with the idea for the film, is a cS member since 2002 (though hasn't been active as of late).

With Gasull, a self-confessed space-geek, Lightbox set out to replicate nearly bolt for bolt the 40-year-old rocket used by the U.S government to launch a moon-mission, for lack of any modern moon vehicle, the NASA control room, with its surprisingly humdrum all dun green control panels, even the walkway used by astronauts to get to rockets.

As usual I'll support anything that can inspire STEM kids...

[addendum]: apparently this was a limited-release movie in December, coming to DVD in March, with lukewarm reviews, so I'll have to wait to have my son see it...

Never heard of this movie until now. It's not the kind of movie I ordinarily go out to see, but anything that puts the excitement of space exploration front and center for kids is ok by me.

Oh if only this place existed (snapshot from the film).
